So sorry to hear that they are overworking you. It is really hard to work for organizations when leaders don't have a clear vision/ direction. I hope it gets better soon.
I’ve been where you are and I feel you. But…I just joined a very well known tech company and I have just seen the effects of recognition: it lifts people up and makes them feel seen and appreciated. However: the reason this works is because the managers and leadership themselves are the first ones to roll up their sleeves and do whatever job they need to do to keep the show running. Team work is the first criteria they look at when reviewing performance and if you are not willing to help the team, you’ll have a hard time there. And yeah, to be a leader you need to have certain skills and tons of self-awareness. I hope you find an employer that sees you and recognises your worth is ways that work for you.
Mine too. I don't have an issue with the work, I enjoy it. They ruin it, they make it hard. I love me teammates but fck me. I wish they just didn't get involved.
Load of bullcrap, the only recognition company can give an employee is money, if you're not upping your paycheck they are screwing you. I have several reeards for professionalism, and I hate them, cause they gave me that crap but I need to fight for pay increase.
Vacation doesn't help when you have to come right back to hell. Taking a vacation is more of a hassle than simply staying at work. Yeah, I'm pretty burned out in what I do. Thank you for the video.
Hit the nail on the head. If I take a vacation for a week or more, that means my normal work gets done by someone else more slower/incompetent at that role, or not done at all. And once I return, I have to deal with cleaning up their mess in my area because I have a very particular system of organizing things, and trying to catch up on the mountain of piled up work that accumulated while I was away which would take a month to get back up to speed. If I continue working normally, everything runs smoothly, and no work is left undone for the next day. The reason why I know this is because while I've never gone on vacation, I've been away very sick for a week, and that exact scenario happened. Sometimes being too efficient is a curse.
I quit my job because they discriminated, bullied, and harassed me to the point where suicide became my only escape. I ran out before my thoughts and plans became behaviours.
So glad that you got out safely. Please ensure that you do the work to heal from that type of work environment. I want you to have a happy and healthy future. 💯
Lack of downward communication is another big issue. When staff-level employees are not engaged by management in proactive communication, you feel like you are not a part of the organization. Leaders should not dismiss the importance of employee engagement.
This is the issue in my place. I'm part of a high performing team. The managers wouldn't be in their position if it wasn't for the people doing the work but that doesn't stop managers from taking all the credit. "leaders who don't listen will eventually be surrounded by people who have nothing to say."
Yah, gotta love it when new policies are rolled out and everybody who has to operate under them is wondering if they missed a meeting where this was being planned and finalized.
@@addanametocontinue That's because it's all done in closed-door meetings and they don't want any input from staff. They don't want to know that their policies are impractical. They will just dig in their heels until too much turnover happens.
it hits even harder when youre a good employee and the bad ones get promoted....and you become stuck in this role while they are moving up and not knowing or even caring what their job is
Pretty accurate list. I'm getting ready to leave my current organization, they ticked a box next to every point made here. I've been there almost 2 years and feel like I've given so much of my time, my motivation, my mental heath, myself. Wild how some places just don't realize they're shooting themselves in the foot.
Good point, this is why it is important for leaders to get to know the people on their team. What is meaningful to one person can be meaningless to others. The sooner the leader recognizes the people on their teams are individuals and treat them based on how they are individually, the better it is for everyone.
I’ve decided to stop speaking to people and doing the bare minimum. They’re going to know that I don’t give a shit about my job anymore. I’m just going to do enough to where I don’t get in trouble but the decline from what they’re used to will be noticeable. I’ve realized my supervisor is a terrible human being and I’m starting to suspect he is the cause to majority, if not all the problems that occur amongst employees
As a subjectively self-described "good employee", I have found that generally the best thing you can do for yourself and your career is to leave when these things are not in place (and sometimes even when they are). No need to get frustrated by lack of recognition or promotion opportunities. When you have acquired experiences and skills that make you ready for that next step, don't hang around hoping and begging. Just go out and find those opportunities yourself. To me, it is the difference between having a job and a career. And it is also the difference between being that "good employee" who has been at the same job for 20 years (fine if that is what you want). Or that "good employee" who moved on, took on new challenges, and ends up with a better salary, more seniority and more options. They are the same guy/gal with a different mindset!
Very good points, I have found over my career, that I typically change positions within 3 years for a variety of reasons. Even at times when I was with the same company, I may have taken on a different role within the same company.
@@simplyuniquecoaching I have done the same, and know that I would not have had the opportunities I have had if I had stuck around at one job. Not because of " evil management" keeping me down. But simply because sometimes opportunities that fit your profile present themselves outside of your current organization. I have a position myself where I decide on formation and the division of roles and tasks. And while you can't give everyone exactly what they want, you can be transparent and honest. And it is also OK not to be scared of change and mobility. Sometimes it is better to tell someone to go and find their next chapter, and that they can put you down as a reference, than to temporarily quiet their desire for something else through training and rewards (or vague promises). If there is an opportunity in your own organization for them to take that next step, that is great. But the truth is that this is not always the case. I don't want people to become frustrated or feel like they are missing out on their potential. I make agreements on future promotions when the opportunity presents itself but I am not making empty promises (the absolute worst thing you can do is string people along in my opinion). Great video and channel btw. Enjoyed the content.
My way of thinking when dealing with BS or more workload at my job, I never complain about the work itself. I only complain about how much I'm paid to do it. Everybody has a price, and my price rises in proportion to how much I have to deal work.
3:44 this is basically what happens most of the time. They see you over perform, then punish you with more work. Even cutting costs firing other coworkers. It’s the sad reality of how things work.
I could have retired 5 years ago, but I enjoyed my work so much, I kept working until this year when my company made a bunch of unpopular decisions that resulted in higher expectations with fewer resources. I wanted to work another 5 years, but I’m calling it quits in Jan2025. I don’t need the aggravation.
Manager is someone that uses a employee as a tool in a tool box . They take it out when they need it. Leadership is you are not truly leading until those employees under your leadership award you that rank.
When you're the only one in your team doing your job, and they are recognizing it and saying it, but the decisions they make are showing total disrespect towards you, it's just time to goo.....
just quite my full time job yesterday stupid co workers company policies not being enforced looking for a part time job even going from $13.50 to $8.00 hour I will be making around a $100 less but only working 20 hours a week
Ima head back to McDonald's soon not gone lie 5 years in the factory job and I'm stuck working 21 days back to back with only one off day a time....seniority doesn't help yu at all working for nowadays
Upcoming generations' attention spans are shot myself included. After 4-5 years, I just get totally bored and have to pursue something different, but try to stay in my career field maintenance but more money does help 😅
Mine is raised based. When I accepted the promotion they told me if I did incredibly well they would be more than happy to provide the raise they promised. 1.5 years later and after multiple requests on my part, they refused to give those raises AND have the nerve to have me train my current Boss and train the new guy taking over a program that should have been mine. Both of them making $30K/year more than me. Angry can’t even describe how I’m feeling. so I made the decision to hold onto it to buy me enough time to finish my cybersecurity, certifications and exam. Then I’m out!
As a Boomer I was saddled with older senior executives who never valued developing people. I can't tell you how many times I left a job for the simple reason that every time I asked for additional training, applied for a better position, or asked to use my education benefits where I was told no or discouraged from improving on my skills. Add in there the fact you are subjected to toxic supervisors who are threatened by your confidence and skill, bully coworkers who go unchecked, and either no raise or such small raises it wasn't a difference. Were I to go back in time I'd have grown a back bone sooner and told bullies and toxic people where to put their opnions of me.
I had to raise an eyebrow at the part where you said perhaps a leader has not been properly trained. I have been with my company for over a decade and they never train managers, supervisors, or teamleads. I didn't even know leadership training was a thing. You just get advice from colleagues who you think are doing great work, and struggle to figure things out. It's sad, but that's how it's always been here. That is something that has caused me to move positions throughout the company. Poor, bullying, and/ immature leadership.
@@simplyuniquecoaching Thank you & I agree. Things are definitely going to get better. I am looking for a company that actively develops their leadership so I know that I will find a place that is alignment with my values. 🙏🏼💪🏽😊
I’m leaving my job after the first couple days in January, I am only working the first couple of days so I can pay my portion of my health insurance for that month and they can pay the rest
I left my organization and position due to the fact NO help from other dept. that I need to work with to do my job and management DOES NOTHING to help. Meetings after meetings e-mails after e-mails no success. So it was time for me to leave!, now I'm gone!
They may be self motivated, however there are always opportunities to identify additional motivational affordances that may help an individual to succeed further at work. This may help their retention through increased job satisfaction and enjoyment. It will also contribute to increased organisational success over time.
1:16 If only managers and companies know this and try to take care of it in the beginning. But no; managers just want to give opportunities to brown nosers. 2:26 I would be okay if I didn't get recognition out loud; just pay me more for doing good work. 3:43 Why doesn't management balance the workload and give more work to the slacker, to help the good worker feel less burned out? Because management is lazy. 4:35 That's why I believe in salary transparency, so I know if the slacker is paid more than me; then that person better do more work. 6:20 It's so weird how companies have a sink or swim culture when people first start learning to be a manager.
1:338:25 9:20 My boss introduced me to his new hire behind my back as having "fallen out with my mum". (My replacement, as it turned out, asked me about it.) I was shocked. It was complete nonsense.
@@MatthewCox-mv6ue I can't leave until the new year even though I've been wanting to leave for the last 2. I'm trying to find my contract to see if I can give 1 week's notice which I'm sure it said. Anyway I think he will find somebody quickly, but they'll soon get bored because nobody wanted to do my job and nobody else does. I've had it all dumped on me. The aforementioned brown noser left after a year to a far better paying job by using the experience I should have had. If I didn't need a reference I'd quit with immediate effect.
I want to leave because I'm trying to get out of nights in the hospital. I also had two ulcers this past august. Nearly bled out. There are some day employees that don't do their jobs well or are lazy but the boss doesn't do anything no matter the complaints. Complete with burnout and such Im ready to leave. Its good pay but sadly its ruining my health on both ends. So sad.
A few takeaways. I wish you were my boss (not joking!). Also, when you deal with management figures, at whatever level, you will most often find blame for anything shifted downward. In other words, no manager will typically admit that they contributed to a problem that made an employee want to leave. It's usually the employee's fault in their minds
It is easy to come up with ideal solutions for hypothetical problems. When you are "the boss" or "management" you have to deal with reality. Realities such as: There are only a limited number of opportunities for promotion, but a much larger number of people who feel they deserve it. Or having to address people when they are not performing properly, and the person in question making it your false subjective evaluation rather than something (s)he should address. People complain about management, but realize that "management" also has to deal with staff that is just as fallible as we all are.
This is me. I have more technical skills that management so they don’t know what they don’t know and think I’m lower level than I am. Also I am technical and they are political. I can code away a job then find out an exec will criticize something unimportant and ignore all the good work
Curious to know anyone’s thoughts on being questioned by their manager about their personal matters I’m a high performer but I’m also an extremely private person, I don’t share my personal issues w/ my manager I have had migraines where I cannot even see, but I can see enough to submit a sick time request - Its just so painful that I don’t take extra time to email + text my manager I’m going to be absent that day I don’t explain what the request is for… bc that’s my personal business. Managers assume I’m being reckless and not communicating properly (when it’s really not their business). I don’t need to explain myself. Previous bosses I’ve had were completely fine w/ that. They respected the fact I needed time off and didn’t question it. This has only happened once a year, mind you. I also get my work done so I don’t understand why current management has any issue w/ my sick time and feel the need to question my time off, pulling me aside privately to “let me know” that I need to also text my manager the reason I’m taking time off.
For me personally, this is simply dependent on what you have agreed upon beforehand. Which in turn is probably dependent on the logistics of the job. I think it can be reasonable that employees let their supervisor know when they are sick. It is not just about keeping tabs on you. If someone needs to organize your replacement for example, or make sure your appointments are cancelled, then they need to know you won't be there. And sometimes, only logging a sick day or putting in a sick-day request is not enough for people to be up-to-date in a timely fashion. What likely happens is that they just register that you suddenly have not shown up. Which could not only lead to worry about your personal wellbeing, but puts them at a disadvantage where they have to find out what is going on, and have to unexpectedly respond to anything that might be coming their way due to your absence. Looking at it from their perspective, I can see that being a problem even for a reasonable manager. It does not matter that you are a private person. You don't have to share what you don't want to share. But logistically someone still needs to take responsibility. And in order for that to happen there needs to be communication. Personally I would look for alternative ways to communicate that would work for you. Like simply calling someone at work for example. All that being said. If anyone is only sick for once a year or so. And that person is dependable and competent outside of that one moment. Then they should let it slide. Nobody is perfect, and in my opinion you don't address something like this if there actually is no problem. Though I will say that because it is out of the ordinary that you are sick, I can see how that would immediately alarm those who know that you are typically timely and dependable.
Good emmployees generally have to work with shit employees for the same money and in some cases less hard enough doing your own work without carrying others look at voluntary redundancy good employees take them as they can get employment elsewhere easy the shit workers don't as they know they will battle to get employment elsewhere in the end you train good workers to leave and take there skills to your opposition

This is me. I have more technical skills that management so they don’t know what they don’t know and think I’m lower level than I am. Also I am technical and they are political. I can code away a job then find out an exec will criticize something unimportant and ignore all the good work
So sorry to hear that you are experiencing this, how long have you been in the position/ with the company?
Answer: Because they have options.
Curious to know anyone’s thoughts on being questioned by their manager about their personal matters
I’m a high performer but I’m also an extremely private person, I don’t share my personal issues w/ my manager
I have had migraines where I cannot even see, but I can see enough to submit a sick time request - Its just so painful that I don’t take extra time to email + text my manager I’m going to be absent that day
I don’t explain what the request is for… bc that’s my personal business.
Managers assume I’m being reckless and not communicating properly (when it’s really not their business). I don’t need to explain myself. Previous bosses I’ve had were completely fine w/ that. They respected the fact I needed time off and didn’t question it.
This has only happened once a year, mind you.
I also get my work done so I don’t understand why current management has any issue w/ my sick time and feel the need to question my time off, pulling me aside privately to “let me know” that I need to also text my manager the reason I’m taking time off.
For me personally, this is simply dependent on what you have agreed upon beforehand. Which in turn is probably dependent on the logistics of the job. I think it can be reasonable that employees let their supervisor know when they are sick. It is not just about keeping tabs on you. If someone needs to organize your replacement for example, or make sure your appointments are cancelled, then they need to know you won't be there. And sometimes, only logging a sick day or putting in a sick-day request is not enough for people to be up-to-date in a timely fashion.
What likely happens is that they just register that you suddenly have not shown up. Which could not only lead to worry about your personal wellbeing, but puts them at a disadvantage where they have to find out what is going on, and have to unexpectedly respond to anything that might be coming their way due to your absence. Looking at it from their perspective, I can see that being a problem even for a reasonable manager. It does not matter that you are a private person. You don't have to share what you don't want to share. But logistically someone still needs to take responsibility. And in order for that to happen there needs to be communication. Personally I would look for alternative ways to communicate that would work for you. Like simply calling someone at work for example.
All that being said. If anyone is only sick for once a year or so. And that person is dependable and competent outside of that one moment. Then they should let it slide. Nobody is perfect, and in my opinion you don't address something like this if there actually is no problem. Though I will say that because it is out of the ordinary that you are sick, I can see how that would immediately alarm those who know that you are typically timely and dependable.
Usually because they want to do their own thing their own business
which is a good thing, i used to
encourage it, well why not. R
Good employees quit when you short them of their overtime.
Ya you know none of this happens right all we get is more work and no raises
Over worked
Its money! Everything after that is bla bla bla.
Good emmployees generally have to work with shit employees for the same money and in some cases less hard enough doing your own work without carrying others look at voluntary redundancy good employees take them as they can get employment elsewhere easy the shit workers don't as they know they will battle to get employment elsewhere in the end you train good workers to leave and take there skills to your opposition
